Do you use hot water bath brewing

[LMC Raws]

How do you guys heat the oil while brewing ? I learnt that can just put the beaker in hot water .But is there any other method to heat when brewing ?

Any answers are welcome.

Straight on the hot plate with beaker...

Using water bath can create steam, meaning theres a chance of your brew being exposed to moisture.. Resulting in condenstion in vial (some brews can turn cloudy due to that)

Hot plate is the best.
I keep gear far from any water source.
1 mistakes and puff gear gone bad

Directly on the hot plate. I just leave the beaker on the hot plat getting hot without products in it. Start getting stuff together as the beaker is just sitting there heated. Add oil to already hot beaker and cut the heat back to desired amount. Then i add my powder. Measure my ba and then add my bb. I don't add powder to beaker first. I don't want the powder on direct heat without oil present. Takes a while for hot plate to cool so i turn it off right after i add eveything. Let it cool to a temp where i can comfortably hold the beaker and still feel it's nice and warm and that's when i filter. This procedure in this parricular order is trademarked, though. If you wish to use this method you will have to get written consent.... just sayin'.

Thank you for your help .Did you use the same procedure brewing all the injection gear ? Does it works well ?

That's good I think .How much does a heating mantle normally cost ?

Never used a hot plate, always were too pricey for me. I wrap a heating pad with the cloth cover taken off around the bottom half of the beaker as the raws are dissolving.... Seems to work just fine as well! Know anywhere to get a hot place for less than a few hundred bucks?

Yes, same procedure. The only thing that changes for me is i don't use bb for test e or eq.

I was looking at the laboratory burners, didn't even think of the hot plates for cooking... Just bought one on amazon for like $20. I am a bit concerned about it's heat fluctuations, so I'll monitor that w/ a thermometer... It just has a L-H scale, not actual temps....

Yeah,I searched on Amazon .USD20 is not expensive , using a lab burner is much better than hot water bath .Thanks for the useful info
